Ingredients

• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups water
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoons white vinegar
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 8 ounces cream cheese (softened)
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cups powdered sugar
• 0.5 cups mini chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 3

Add the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms. Set aside.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until creamy and smooth.

Step 5

Add the egg, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and beat until fully combined and creamy.

Step 6

Gently fold the mini chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 7

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the chocolate batter into the bottom of each muffin cup, spreading it out slightly to create an even layer.

Step 8

Top each chocolate layer with a generous spoonful of the cheesecake mixture, filling each muffin cup almost to the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and slightly golden.

Step 10

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cups cool completely in the pan. Then, transfer them to the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour.

Step 11

Serve chilled and enjoy your Black Bottom Cheesecake Cups!
